I just got back from Portland, Oregon's City of Roses Guitar Show and came across a booth with some neat old Ric parts and memorabilia so I took some pictures that I thought some of you would enjoy.

The first photo shows an original 50's postcard from "Radio & Television Equipment Co. @ 2118 S. Main St. Santa Ana introducing their Model 425, also shown is a 1956 Magnatone guitar made by Electro String (Rickenbacker?), In the strings is an original, unused 25th anniversary decal.

The next is a better full shot of this 1956 Magnatone Guitar with that cool body style!!

Then there was this shot of the '56 Magnatone with a photo from what appears to be a 50's (1956?) Guitar Show photo of the 25th Anniversary Rickenbacker booth complete with model!

All this stuff was for sale for what I considered reasonable! Hope I'm able to post these pictures correctly! Enjoy!

Brian, I didn't see it, in fact I didn't notice if OTM even had a booth but then again I was busy looking at the pieces and not the signs

I didn't see OTM there either. I don't think they had a booth this time around. Saul Koll, TV Jones, and other numerous people were there. It was a good show.

Maybe we should have pints at Kells...then torment the sales guys at Apple Music.

I got my 370/12 from those guys.

I'm sorry for you! Its a toss up between who is worse in town...Apple Music or GC, but I think because Kelly is at Apple, I would say they are the worst. The guy would lie to his mother to get a sale!

Hey, what can I say, they had one, I wanted one. It worked. I bought it... Another time I also ended up picking up a Vox Brian May from them for only $100

Not at the moment. Waiting for the new ones. Been playing eaiser to play (fat fingers I guess) basses. Wider string spacing, like the new Ric will be.
